This ingenious walking stick collapses and packs away in its 11 1/4" long nylon case, allowing you to take it virtually anywhere. Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, it opens in seconds to a length of 50"—each of the four sections nest within one another with an elastic band running the entire length of the tube for a rigid, reliable walking companion. The removable knob has a built-in compass and conceals a threaded post that accepts cameras, creating a convenient monopod for picture-taking. The metal tip for gripping soil can be exchanged with a rubber tip for hard surfaces. With wrist strap. Collapsed 10" L x 2" W. Extended 50" L x 2" W. (12 oz.)

Do not buy this product if you really need the assistance of a walking stick or cane. My rating would be "no stars" but that's not an option.

The sections fit very loosely together. The attached compass does not work.

Wife needs a walking stick for maintaining her balance. She is so heppy with it that she has retired her non-collapable stick and the new one travels with her everywheres. It would be helpful if the height was adjustable and it had a velcro strip to help keep it folded without using the tote bag. About the only concern we have is replacing the rubber tip when it wears out.

Not a durable heavy duty walking stick to me. Great that it's packable which is why I bought one. However watch putting to much weight on it when needed. Could have sent it back put I have a collection of canes and sticks. Don't really like it other than it's very packable.

This is clearly a well manufactured collapsable walking stick and one that folds up conveniently to store in the the included carry bag. I don't need a cane on a continual basis at this point, but having one handy in case of weakness after a long day has definitely given me more of a feeling of security. Having it be able to double as a monopod was an added bonus. My sense is that the rubber covering on the tip will wear with usage, but I'm sure that I'll be able to find something to cover the point again for indoor use.

Too soon to tell how durable they will be, hence 4 stars, but they (I bought two) are super convenient for this urban walker. The storage bags will be useful in luggage. The 50" length is perfect for my height. The only negatives so far are that I had to come up with my own Velcro straps to keep them folded at my destination(s), and--the biggie-- that there is no info on ordering the inevitably necessary replacement rubber tips. The manufacturer did not respond to my inquiry. Thank goodness for HS's fabulous customer service.

I have shopped extensively for a good walking stick/cane. I am handicapped and this has served me both in good times (small hikes) and in bad times (when health is worse). I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY!!! Price is right and quality is superb!!!
